He hasn't been cleared yet. Horrible injury, forgot his own name for a week. What is unsure right now if he'll even be able to play football again or not. Last I heard we were looking into giving him a medical scholarship so he can still attend Ole Miss on scholarship while not playing football.
That sounds less like a regular concussion and more like the kind of Traumatic Brain Injury that effects accident victims, soldiers, and those who've been severely beaten/assaulted. Scary!
I've never heard of a school giving a medical scholarship to a recruit (thought they only did that for players) but if he isn't well it would be awesome if OM could do so.

A few years back there was a kid committed to Texas named Matt Nader. He was a 5* OT from westlake hs (same highschool that produced Drew Brees and Nick Foles).
His senior year he collapsed on the field during a game and they had to use a defibrillator to bring him back to life. They found some sort of heart condition and he could never play again. His family is well off so I'm not sure if he got a medical scholarship or what the deal was. But he spent his 4 years of school in the football program as a part of the team.
